Partnership for Digital Hungary

Digital Hungary is a vision - where based on digital
competences private persons, companies and the state alike use state-of-the-art
digital services through world-class digital infrastructure.

In order to
fulfill this objective we must foster cooperation among all stakeholders - i.e.
the state, telecommunication and info-communication market players as well as
municipalities, companies and NGOs. The Partnership Cooperation Agreement
concluded in February 2014 by and between Magyar Telekom and the Government of
Hungary also upholds and reflects these objectives.

In accordance with the document Telekom’s investments are intended to make
high-speed broadband internet available for Hungarian consumers as soon as
possible. The intensive use of new technologies and info-communication
solutions greatly contribute to the improvement of the Hungarian people's
quality of life, effectiveness of their businesses and the international
competitiveness of the Hungarian economy. Another objective of the company is
to spread digital literacy and knowledge on the safe use of the internet
throughout the entire country.

When signing the agreement, Christopher Mattheisen,
Magyar Telekom’s Chief Executive Officer pointed out: “Telekom is Hungary’s
strategic partner with a long-term commitment. Our company is creating special
value in both the private and the public sectors with its state-of-the-art
solutions that make everyday life simpler and easier. We are active in the areas
of healthcare, public administration, education and transportation, and we also
work successfully with Hungary’s small and medium-sized businesses as well as
major manufacturers and exporters. We are proud that Magyar Telekom has
been the first to bring the most advanced telecommunications products and ICT
innovations to Hungary. As Hungary’s first and only integrated operator we
offer internet, TV and phone connection, regardless of time and place, for
millions of consumers. Besides being pioneering innovators we are also a major
employer in Hungary.”
